i missed my first further maths lesson and he has set some hwk but i am really confused....i would really appreciate some help. the question is:
Find the values of p and q given that p+qi=1/12-5i
Equating real and imaginary parts of this equation will yield p and q. However the RHS is not immediately in a form that you can say this is the real part and this is the imaginary part. How can you re write the RHS so it is in the form a +bi (for some a and b)? HINT: Think about the conjugate of a complex number.
